This recipe for slow cooker creamy Italian chicken is a family favorite for sure! With how simple and crowd pleasing it is, I’m sitting her wondering why I don’t make it more often.

It’s one of those crock pot recipes where you always have the ingredients on hand, especially if you buy double what it calls for and keep chicken breasts on hand at all times in your freezer. (Am I the only one who does that??)

If you love recipse that are easy and also easy to tweak, you’ll love this creamy Italian chicken recipe. You can easily tweak it when you feel like changing things up. For example, throw in sun-dried tomatoes or try canned mushrooms instead of fresh.

I’ve even thrown in a can of Italian petite diced tomatoes before and it was super yummy!

Don’t you love throwing frozen chicken in a slow cooker for a simply weeknight meal? I’ve done it with just chicken and a sauce like salsa or Korean BBQ sauce or kicked up the flavor with this buffalo ranch chicken (it makes fantastic sliders!).

Oh, and this slow cooker mango chicken is a must-make too!

Speaking of sliders, my family LOVES these slow cooker French dip sliders—also a quick and easy crock pot meal for the family!
